Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is generally superior for this route as it offers the best chance to see the iconic Palma Cathedral during the descent and a more scenic view of the French interior and the Catalan coastline.

โ›ช

Palma Cathedral

On the standard approach into PMI, the left side often provides a stunning view of 'La Seu' and the harbor.

Book a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Pyrenees and the Mallorca coastline. On evening flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the setting sun over the Atlantic, providing clearer views of the French landscape and the lights of Palma.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Mediterranean. It offers the best views of the rugged Mallorcan mountains during the initial descent phase. Try to sit in the first few rows or the very back to avoid the wing blocking the view of the French Atlantic coastline.
